We just returned from visiting Tony's side of the family in Hot Springs. On the long way down, we were excited to stop and see our "adopted son", Steve. Knowing us like he does, he knew we are all about the food and suggested a great BBQ joint in Memphis.
One of the highlights of the trip was seeing Uncle Van and Aunt Carla's dream home. They had bought the land shortly after Tony and I were married. The dream house is almost completed and absolutely the most beautiful home I have ever been in. I am not just saying that! Uncle Van owns his own cabinetry business and is using the home as a showroom for his business. I took a ton of pictures, but am having to honor his request and not publish them. But if your in the market for custom cabinetry, I'll hook you up! Parker would say one of his highlights was lots of rides on the six wheeler. That was a picture of our grand tour.
Uncle Van and Aunt Carla have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 horses on their property. While Parker and I enjoyed meeting Callie and Doc from the 6 wheeler, Macy wanted an upclose introduction! Aunt Carla hosted a lunch for the whole family Saturday afternoon - 50+ and not everyone was there! I was so busy keeping track of Macy and Parker between visiting that I didn't get any pictures taken. What was I thinking?
On Sunday, we did a little sightseeing in Hot Springs. But first we stopped by Great Grandmother's to see her new digs and meet Aunt Voneta's dog, Yogi. We always love visiting with Great Grandmother and Yogi was very cute!
Gamma and Uncle Richard acted as our tour guides. Gamma grew up in Hot Springs and shared some of her memories. We went to the top of the mountain where her daddy used to bring all the kids (eight of them) for a watermelon picnic on a hot evening. The view was incredible! Thanks to all the Hot Springs clan for a great visit!
